truly someone with the mind of culture and refined noble taste

excellent review of UY 2022. i agree when you said it's not for everyone especially when its a very old influential series from the 80s being remade with not much added into it to make it seem modern. the modern anime fan will find it cliche because the anime they've seen were all inspired by it. also based take on AOT, that show is one of the most overrated anime ever with an extremely toxic fanbase.

I like anime

Finally a person with a respectable taste

better than shitballz

Let me guess, you also think Ronaldo is better than Messi?

Imagine calling AoT mindless fun and then rating Code Geass and Dragon ball a 10

I agree with your thinking behind it. AoT might be superior in Storywriting. But the most importent thing at the end, is "Enjoyment". If you enjoy is, its perfect.

I can still kind of understand comparing Lelouch to Eren. Since both have the role of an antihero, but with relatively different personalities. But Mikasa with Kallen? Yes, both are devoid of content and empty, but Kallen is just a walking fanservcie bomb. And where the hell is the connection between Gabi and Nina? The two couldn't be more different in character and motivation. Season 4 does indeed have slow pacing, I don't disagree with that. However, the same is true for Code Geass. The China arc alone felt like an eternity, even though almost nothing happened. I like Dragon Ball, I grew up watching it several times, including Super and Abridged. But the hype around this series is incomprehensible, as it could hardly be more average. Still, it's something you could rewatch even years later, although for me that's probably just due to nostalgia. So because of Elfenlied, you're only concerned with whether a series "bores" you, at least that's the feeling I get. I initially thought you were concerned with the actual content, if you're only concerned with your enjoyment, this whole issue is irrelevant anyway. Everyone can and should like what he wants. Anyway, as someone who has read both the anime and the Elfenlied manga, I can say that the author probably has the stupidest fetishes ever and this manga should never be published, let alone the already aborted anime adaptation. I gave AoT 7/10, I don't think I'm a fanboy even though I respect the creativity behind it, it had too few relevant side characters and many plotholes. I would NEVER call it a masterpiece. But Code Geass is worlds inferior to that. Alone what the authors didn't even know what they were going for. Serious anime? Fan service, JoJo poses without end, every 8 episodes a school comedy episode (which were actually good lol), a bad second season and the finale with Charles was such a huge pushover, his whole plan just screams steaming shit. It's hard to think of a worse antagonist than Charles. BUT, I love Lelouch and the final arc with Euphy, as well as the Season 1 finale and the Zero Requiuem of Season 2. Those 4 moments, were a tour de force. But everything in between, was pure mecha average with Lelouch ah so great "I move chess pieces and skip building my plans, but since Britain only has fourth graders as generals I win anyway". I won't criticize CG further though, as this is still one of my favorites, so this will do.
AoT has many asspulls, but Marley is definitely not one of them. The existence of the second Continent was already hinted at in season 2 as was the true existence of the Titans in the Ova (season 1) and in season 1 during Hang's investigation. Likewise, the ability of the future was already hinted at in Chapter 1, as well as in Season 3, that the series will take "future" as a theme. The name of Chapter 1 alone, "To You, 2000 Years From Now," more than hinted at this. When Eren was taking a nap under the plot tree.

The finale of AoT was a disappointment, of course, but it wasn't that disastrous. You can criticize almost any anime/manga. But both CG and AoT are VERY flawed. And that you condemn one but praise the other is questionable. But as I said, if it's just about "your taste", you totally have the right to do so.

How is aot “mindless fun” have u seen the most recent episodes?

I agree with you, AoT doesnt deserve the hype it gets. Its amazing, not gonna lie and i actually enjoy it a lot. But its hard overhyped.

Yet, if someone calls something "overhyped" he needs to know his own standpoint.

So, how do you score Stuff like Code Geass 10/10 which is basicaly just a low budget with AoT, with only 1/10 of the Plot and Characters? Dont get me wrong, i watched CG 3 times by now and i like it. But this show has such bad character writing and slow pacing, its sometimes deadly (mostly the second season)

And the same goes for Elfenlied and Dragon Ball. Where you got those high scores from? Even the worst AoT season is far superior to any of them. Same for Akame ga Kill being 8/10 despite the Manga being average and still 2 times better than the Anime Adaption.

It always confuses me, if someone calls something "overrated" but then throws around scores like there is no tomorrow

you gotta be kidding me super is a 4/10

very similar taste to me!

One thing I want to add with out spoiling or giving anything away. Skypia is an arc that will soon have alot of relevence towards END game of the one piece series. So it is deffinitly an arc I would either re-watch or re-read if you don't like the pacing because the anime pacing was quite horrid for that arc.

Also alot of the arcs in the one piece did have pacing issues, but I will tell you, since the new director has taken over the series, the anime has been literal FIRE!! Probably even better then the manga it self. Certainly things were not entirely apparent in the manga and the anime fleshed out those moments with more clarity, also many of the action set piece moments in the series are just brimming with such detail and cheography that the manga really could no way have pulled that off.

So I guess what I am trying to say is if you are planning on picking back up one piece, you can read most of the manga if you don't prefer the poor pacing of the anime but it does improve quite significantly later on. Although there is one smaller arc that I would absolutly read as opposed to watching, it was a heavly expositional story dump arc called the "reverie arc" but the anime completly destroyed it by ruining suprising elements of the story and also changing events from the manga, this of course was right before the current director of one piece left, a little coincidental don't you think? Maybe he new he screwed up so bad that there was no fixing it so he jumped ship.

Either way, the manga is great but some of the later arcs have a certain quailty to them where they are just top notch and even supercede the manga. Think of like a Triple AAA Disney High budget animation film production. There is moments like that in the series that just blow you away.
